Thank you Alaskastreamin, I await your friends response. The boat right now is some were between north carolina and ny. It will be at my shop tomorrow at 12 noon. By the way how fast is your friends boat and what year is it? Again thank you and all of Hydro Stream Forum for all your help.

Well the boat was supposed to arrive today but it got delayed due to a bad wheel bearing. I hope I did not make a mistake buying this boat. I had a chance to buy another boat that was the same size but built for drag racing, but I liked the hydro streams lines and interior. I guess I will just wait ...

Hi Russf I wish I knew that before I already bought it. I paid 5,500 complete. I dont think I got screwed.

Hi, I was looking on line for parts for my drag boat and I came across this boat and another- I thought a nice little v hull with a nice interior and a big motor would go nice on the Sound. I do have two jetskis that do well over 70mph. But this boat "being restored " would be fun, also ha...

Hi RussF, that is one cool looking boat! Forgive me if I sound stupid but is that a viper? What year and length? How fast is it? Like I said Im new to this type of boat. Boy I cant wait till it gets here!! I live on the water in Asharoken (on long island) and when I woke this morning the water was a...

Hi, I am not sure about the core, according to the old owner he had gutted the boat and had restored it for the last 2 years. I had asked him if there were any soft spots stress wear or cracks etc. he had said the boat is very solid. He was the second owner. The merc is a 2000 XR 60 150 . I have not...
